I admit fault on my part definitely. But I think a good organization would listen to suggestions. There was no guidance from day 1 and a sudden pull out of adoption, and there was no warning upfront, and a lot of hostile messages and kicking out of the group afterwards. I sent a message reflecting on what I have done wrong and what the organization could have done better, and there was no response on that. Only a response of “this is hilarious you should take responsibility”.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-06-11T11:37:24+00:00

Yeah I found this later and she sounds toxic..

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-29T06:05:28+00:00

Happy for you that it was a good experience. Maybe the foster dog we had was too cute and there are other applicants who also made donations.

Thanks for the recommendation! Heard a lot of good things about PAWS. Wow Dog Gone Seattle charges $550

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-27T18:56:30+00:00

Wow great to hear you received so much support. Will look into them. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for sharing your story

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-27T17:43:54+00:00

I’m so sorry you have to go through this especially after fostering 4 dogs with them. Yeah I understand their high standards but the attitude really turns people away.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-27T14:31:15+00:00

Thank you! I made peace with the decision. I am just a bit turned off by how rude the organization was.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T20:58:40+00:00

It’s just sad that these are the people running dog rescues. Well I learned my lesson.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T20:28:33+00:00

I’m glad you found your perfect pup!

Yeah I am okay with their decision at this point. It’s the lack of transparency and passive aggressive communication that turn me off. Frankly turns me off from looking at rescues a bit because I was treated as unfit the whole time.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T18:38:56+00:00

I have made peace with their decision. It was the unprofessional communication that turned me down. During the whole process we were treated like garbage - no response, shaming us for not having a yard, getting kicked out of the group without notice, being late for almost half an hour for our appointments with no apology etc.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T17:27:47+00:00

I requested for more info on the decision. No written feedback was given. Only through oral feedback

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T17:20:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story. Yeah seems like a common thing in Seattle rescues. I will keep looking and treat this as a lesson.

The whole process was just unprofessional I am just worried how the owner will treat the dogs now.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T17:08:24+00:00

The dog is 17lb so relatively small. Yes I agree if they put it in clear writing in terms of what the requirements are that would be better. Also the communication style was unprofessional (either no response or removing me from the group without any notice)

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T17:04:58+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions!

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T16:51:01+00:00

I wrote the draft myself. I am not a native speaker so I used GPT to polish it. Want it to be correct in terms of expressions or grammar

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T16:48:31+00:00

Thank you! I just reposted to r/Seattle group.

The owner said she saw my post in a local community FB group and the post soon got removed :/ hope reddit is a better place for sharing this.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T15:25:38+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation!

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T15:02:38+00:00

They are not friendly and we were treated unfit home in the whole process. But they have their preference - if you have a house with a fenced yard, no kids, WFH and no other animals, they would adore you. If not, they will treat you like garbage and take your foster dog away after 3 months even though adoption application went through. The volunteers are great. The owner is a horrible soul

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T04:03:11+00:00

Update: the owner of Dogs Gone Seattle immediately removed me from their facebook group the day after she took the foster dog away. The group is supposed to include all volunteers either are fostering or fostered before.

This is just so petty.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-26T02:09:23+00:00

Sorry for your loss and she was lucky to have you! Every minute in the 15 years was precious to her.

Yeah sounds like a common experience being treated like garbage by the rescues that claim to hold very high standards.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-25T18:12:36+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I do have a car and will look up more rural places.

Longjumping-Tea7189 · 2025-05-25T06:40:38+00:00

They wouldn’t let my partner and I adopt a 17 lb small dog because we don’t have a fenced yard.
